Help with installation

Roggie891 — Sun, 17 May 2020 00:53:43 +0000

I use Cyberlink Powerdirector 18 (mostly) & Davinci Resolve (rarely) to edit video. I downloaded and installed the codec, but am unsure how I can use it. I have the VLC video player, but couldn't install it with the Read Me file that came with the codec. (I couldn't find the .dll file that was supposed to be downloaded with install, then copied/transferred to the VLC player.) I mostly edit both 8 and 10 bit 4k drone video as well as video from other sources. I don't deal a lot with individual codec's. Is there an actual instruction manual? Can anyone give me some help? Thanks.

Amazing Codec

Bought few days ago Ultimate version. I must say I am really impressed.

My plan is to work on 4k Videos. For now I been making videos using FRAPS and only 1080p resolution. Well Fraps didn't work out good for 4k, and honestly I love when I get content from the games, using RGB lossless capture.

So I decided to try out MagicYUV, and I can say, man this is such amazing codec :)
I run Intel I7 75930K, GTX980TI GPU and for recording storage I'm using 2x Seagate 6TB HDD in Raid0. Overall write speed is 400mbit/sec, what is looks like enough.

With overall performance I'm recording, World of Warcraft content in 4k, all on ultra, with MagicYUV RGB, without problems.

Keep up good work! This codec is the best you can get for recording in-game content, with good quality and performance!

Linux encode support ... please? Pretty please...

Really, really need a decent codec for intermediate work on my Linux boxes. Right now the best I can hope for are directories of .png files which, for a 90 min show is... well, think of 24 FPS over that time and you get the idea.

If there's a way to do this via WINE or Crossover that would be great too - and I'm quite happy to help in any way I can. Linux has some great pro-level software (for free) like Natron which would benefit from this greatly and at this price even the tightest-walleted (?!) of us can cough up!

Hi, I run a relatively new and small gaming/gameplay related youtube channel. I found your codec when I was looking for the best possible solution for Dxtory, sacrificing no quality while also providing good performance and reasonable file sizes.

Google eventually led me to MagicYUV, and 1 was quite good, but with 2 I can definitely feel the performance difference. Because I record a game that's temperamental at the best of times it's very important there isn't a big hit so that 60 FPS is always maintained. This latest release allows me to NOT worry whether I'm getting random FPS dives.

Anyway I wanted to say thank you. I've gotten a number of compliments on the recent quality of my captures and I could not do it without your codec. If you would like an example, you can check out a vid here: http://youtu.be/Uzb6c2ghMuU and I do credit MagicYUV in every video description in the hopes other people find it, too.

Everybody else is introducing themselves, so I might as well do it too.

I run a tiny Youtube gaming channel (470-ish subscribers as of this posting), and I've been using MagicYUV for my encoding for... a few months now. I record with Dxtory, and do all my editing in Premiere. Before I switched to MagicYUV, I used Lagarith.

Outside of Youtube, I'm a web developer in Utah with far too many hobbies. I knit, I do ham radio, I dabble in soldering, I enjoy photography, and I'm trying to teach myself to be a game developer.

Thanks for making this codec.

I got pretty excited when I saw that one of the codecs I use got a major update. I only use a small handful of them, and most either update slowly or not at all since they're old. This thing was already fast when recording 1080p, I can only imagine what the 30%-50% performance increase will yield.

I do have a question though, and I realize the answer probably varies depending on the actual video itself but was there an average compression increase with the release of 2.0?
